Our four treatment clinics and peripheral consultation clinics have the common goal of providing the most successful outcomes for you. Our doctors, scientists, nurses and counsellors are among the very best in their field, bringing their expertise and compassion to help you start a family. Fertility Associates was started in 1987 by the original doctors who introduced in vitro fertilisation (IVF) to New Zealand in the early 1980s - Dr Freddie Graham and Dr Richard Fisher. The organisation today is lead by four Medical Directors (Mary Birdsall, VP Singh, Andrew Murray and Sarah Wakeman), as well as a close knit team of experienced reproductive medicine specialists to ensure the provision of publicly funded and private fertility services throughout the New Zealand.
